RIAPERTURE

Photography Festival Ferrara

From the 6th to the 8th of April and from the 13th to the 15th of April of 2018, Riaperture festival will take place in Ferrara, a new photography festival, whose main aim is to develop a project of expressive research that will develop on two binaries: the re-open of forgotten places of the city and of soothed questions which the images will inspire. The purpose is to create a direct connection between urban space and photography.

In the historic center of the city some locals, which are actually unused, are indeed there. We can’t make use of these places anymore. Re-open some of these structures temporarily and allow the citizens to re-experience these places could activate an mechanism of interest about these places.

The festival don’t want to address only the photography’s lovers: it tries to connect curious people and to create interactions between photographers, and creative processes, and the visitors.
